📋 About This Mod
Ever played Wrath of the Righteous? A cornerstone caster mythic feat was Ascendant Element that enabled you to ignore immunity to a particular energy damage type. This mod brings that particular flavor of punchiness to BG3 by allowing Elemental Adept to circumvent immunity. Burn down a magma elemental!
Furthermore, in keeping with the spirit of energy damage, both positive (Radiant) and negative (Necrotic) damage types are added to the feat.
Will conflict with any mod modifying Elemental Adept and there a couple doing so afaik. Place AscendantElement.pak below them in such cases so it overrides them in the load order.
One (1) Vampire Spawn was hurt in the making of this mod.
> Installation
I recommend installing with Vortex. The manager was updated to fully support BG3 and it's as breezy as ever.
If you are still using Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Manager, the same drill applies:
1. Extract AscendantElement.pak into AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods
2.. Activate it in the manager by dragging and dropping it from right to left
3. Save the load-order
A gameplay mod that buffs the Elemental Adept feat to ignore both resistance and immunity, and extends its effect to Necrotic and Radiant damage types. For players who want more consistent elemental damage in combat.
